It is not easy to become part   of such a big team so I am very, very happy."I am excited to play in  such an intense league, for a team that gives everything to play and  win." The Italy international was an important member of Napoli's squad  under  Sarri and the Blues expect him to have a similar influence in   London."We are delighted Jorginho has chosen to join Chelsea," club  director  Marina Granovskaia said. "He was one of the most coveted  midfielders in  Europe and will become an important member of the  playing squad. "He has demonstrated his quality working under Maurizio Sarri and we   are convinced his signing will help bring further success to Stamford   Bridge." City were previously interested in the 26-year-old Italy international  but it is Sarri's side who have won the race to sign the player.Indeed,  it had been expected that the midfielder would join up with the Premier  League champions, who also had a five-year deal on the table less than a  fortnight ago.His agent had previously told TuttoMercatoWeb: "Jorginho is good  at Napoli, but there are negotiations with Manchester City and this is  why we do not talk about a renewal."We are talking about a lad for whom  Manchester City represents the opportunity of a lifetime." Jorginho has been handed the No.5 shirt for his first season with the   Blues, who missed out on Champions League football after finishing   fifth in the Premier League last term.</blockquote>
